Air Conditioner is not cooling the trailer
I have a 2014 Arctic Fox 5th wheel with a 13.5 BTU Coleman Mach (Airexcel)air conditioner, We haven't had to use the air conditioner until this weekend when it was 102 degrees. I have two Honda EU20...

I am biased as a Floridian, but Arctic Fox does not build a single 5th wheel model that would cool sufficiently here with anything shy of a 15000, and that would just do a 27 footer. Any longer and I would require 2 AC units. 102 degrees is not messing around, you need some significant cooling power. I have a 41' TH and the front is essentially a 27 foot fiver, and I had to replace a 13,500 with a 15,000 for the front area, and run another 13,500 in the 14 foot garage. Remember our "4 season" RVs also use the cooling in the basement areas as well. Down here I am in a shaded spot with temps in the high 90s daily, and I would freeze up the relatively new 13,500 unit every afternoon trying to maintain 74 degrees inside.
You may have other problems as well but I would not hesitate (heck I would DEMAND) to run a 15,000 in that coach. I was told the same crud as well that I can only expect blah blah degrees under outside, but on a 98 degree day I can have our coach 66 inside now no problem.
